I landed at the pool without my camera today, so I played with filters on my phone camera.  This was interesting; the splash of another swimmer with Anastasia behind it.

Bruce made his soy curls into "BBQ sandwiches" for dinner, but Xander didn't care for the texture.  Making everyone happy at mealtime is near impossible.

Today Bruce and I headed to Portland to attend VegFest.  I wanted to watch some cooking demonstrations, and a doctor was talking about reducing cancer risk with diet.  I learned how easy it is to make yummy vegan chocolate truffles, got some good ideas, and Bruce got some soy curls.

Today was a mini mission event in the Highlands - Dump Runs and Alley Clean-up.  This is an annual September event; the city partners with us by proving free dump coupons.

It didn't rain on us.  Disappointed with the number of volunteers that showed up, but we did get 7 loads of unwanted items hauled away off our adopted block.

We crashed the homecoming game tonight.  One kid in the front row cheering, one kid in a batman costume on the halftime float.  Fun way to wrap up a crazy week!

“We’re out of bread.  And out of jam.  I timed it well so they would both be gone at the same time.” - Xander

“Did you put them on Cozi?” – Me

“Nope, I don’t want to get more, I just eat them.” - Xander

This container of jam isn’t very old.  Days, not even a week.  Demolished.  #THISISOURLIFE

Walked over to tennis practice, then rushed over to the pool.  Anastasia swam in four events, stretched out from the first to the twelfth event.  Less schools attending, so more space int eh bleachers, yay.  Anastasia made district time on the 500 meter, super yay.
